Corey Stewart Assembles 100 Pro-Life Activists to Help Protect Life in Virginia

Woodbridge, VA -- Republican candidate for Governor Corey Stewart announced today the formation of the Pro-Lifers for Corey Stewart Coalition to support his campaign for Governor of Virginia.

Terry Beatley, a prominent leader in the defense of life in Virginia, has joined Corey in his fight for the protection of the unborn.

"I rarely endorse political candidates, but I am strongly endorsing Corey Stewart as the next Virginia Governor," Beatley said. "We need a Governor with the fortitude to sign into law a Virginia Heartbeat Bill in 2018, which will protect babies in the womb from abortion once a heartbeat is detected. Thousands of Virginia lives will be saved. Corey has promised to do just that."

"Virginia does not want or need another establishment RINO candidate who simply has political campaigning experience and a track record of sweeping social and moral issues under the Republican rug and miserably failing at broadening the Republican base with minorities," Beatley continued. "I want proven leadership. There is only one candidate running who has the fortitude — the chutzpah — to shamelessly and boldly fight for what is right. He is Corey Stewart," Beatley concluded.

Corey's effort to protect unborn life in the Commonwealth is comprised by a combination of Virginia activists and influencers who are very active on Stewart's campaign. Over one hundred Pro-Life Virginians joined Beatley in endorsing Stewart as part of his Pro-life Coalition.

"I am thankful for the endorsements from so many pro-life activists and supporters," Stewart said. "I believe that every life is precious and needs to be protected from the moment of conception. It is our duty as elected officials to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I will not only defend the right to life but will fight for it," Stewart continued.

"This is what sets me apart from the rest of the field in this Governor's race. I will not give lip service. I will put my principles into action. As part of my pro-life platform, we will defund Planned Parenthood and will pass common sense laws that protect babies from being murdered in the womb," Stewart concluded.

Speaking on Thursday in Philadelphia at an annual retreat for Republican lawmakers, Mr. Trump seemed to think Mike Pompeo, the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, would be among the senators, representatives and party operatives hooting and hollering in the crowd.

“Where is Pompeo? Where the hell is he?” Mr. Trump said, scanning the crowd.

Because we really, really want the CIA to become a partisan political organization. We really want to see the head of our Intelligence Service guffawing and pounding down martinis with folks plotting how to screw over the American people with their legislative agenda.

This wasn’t a one-off either. According to The Hill he repeatedly asked for Pompeo’s whereabouts during his speech, like he was presenting at an awards ceremony.

This is yet another example of someone lacking even a fundamental understanding of how our government operates. As The New York Times patiently explains, Pompeo, the new head of our Intelligence service, was not in attendance at the GOP policy huddle:

The C.I.A., like the military, is supposed to be apolitical, and its chief does not have a direct role in creating administration policies. Though Mr. Pompeo has attended the Republican retreat in years past — he was a Republican representative before taking over the C.I.A. on Monday — it would be considered highly inappropriate for him to take part in his new role running the country’s premier intelligence agency.

But of course Trump doesn’t know this. In fact, the thought that there might be something “inappropriate” about mixing the Intelligence Services with a partisan political gathering like this probably never crossed his mind.
